Relaxing time
Easy pick up, comfortable bus and very pleasant and cheerful driver - Stewart. 5 hours maybe just a little bit too long in the spa but then it was our 2nd visit so we knew what to expect

Lovely day at the springs
Peter was a great guide, and we enjoyed the tour. There was no rush at the springs (had 4 hours which was more than enough) and the view from Arthur's seat was lovely. All in all a fuss free way to see the Mornington without renting a car.

Love this place definitely wanna come back.
You don’t need to rent the locker, they made me and said I’m not allowed to walk around with a bag, but guess what everybody was walking around with their bag. It’s like a nature preserve. There’s lots of places you put your bag down in the bush beside one of the pools and have a lovely soak. I loved it there. I had an amazing time, space I did the mud thing it was great especially for $20. Also want to give a special shout out to our lovely tour guide of the day on this tour Mathew he was fabulous!
Operator response

We appreciate your feedback on the locker situation and will take it into consideration. A special thanks for recognising Mathew—he will be so pleased to hear your kind words! We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
